Ford F-150 Foose Edition: New York Auto Show Preview

If the name Foose doesn't sound familiar, you don't know one of the headliners in street rod customizing. No matter. The visuals tell the story here.

Of course the pickup is lowered—that's a given. Then there's the way oversize 22-in. wheels. For even more drive-by, notice you have racing stripes running the whole length of the body, starting with the hood and turning across the fenders, then narrowing down at mid length to flare out at the tailgate. Horizontal chrome bars in the grille plus enlarged rocker panels finish the Foose inspiration outside.

Under the hood is a 450-hp, 4.7-liter supercharged V8, making the Foose Edition the most powerful pickup on the streets. Inside you get Chip Foose signature headrests and floor mats, along with a leather-wrapped center console. Forget what you're driving? You also get a Foose-designed serialization plate with the VIN and build-sequence numbers. Check later for a price tag. —Jim Dunne
